Earlier this week the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA) released new short policy and procedure guides for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) on the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) website. While these documents were created with attention to the poultry industry they are an excellent resource for zoological institutions as well. Links to the relevant pages are included below. The ZAHP Fusion Center is currently working with the USDA and other federal partners to create a checklist specifically geared towards the managed wildlife community.
